Quick Hitches Quick hitch

[dillo99]

For the little stuff that I can move around easily, the quick hitch isn't a big deal. For things like a bush hog it is awesome.

Can you buy a PTO extension that slips on the tractors PTO? I am thinking about Pat's Easy change.

Yes. I use this one: PTO ADAPTER 1-3/8X6SPL M. X 1-3/8X6SPL F - Agri Supply . But this one will work too if your PTO spline is drilled for it: http://www.agrisupply.com/pto-adapter-bolt-on-/p/11973/cn/3500008/

Ops-forgot two c frame quick hitch uses that Pats can't do. I disassemble PHD for storage and found that main beam will mount on quick hitch top so I don't need to remove QH for punching holes in the ground. Also can use PHD beam on QH as a boom ploe for lifting.

The only issue is the top connection hook. I set mine up with quick release pins so that if there is a need for adjustment when changing to a new implement its done in 30 seconds.

I wouldnt go without one!

I have the JD Imatch and really like it, especially with the heavy MX-5 brush hog and heavy duty box blade, it does not work with my king kutter rear 6ft blade, just take the Imatch off for the winter and leave the rear blade on until spring that is all I use the tractor for in the winter anyway.

Corporate strategy. It forces I-Match owners to buy JD-branded implements. Except for those die-hards with green and yellow blood - universal is better.

That my friend is a load of crap! There are plenty of other company's that make implements that conform to the ASAE standard. The JD I-Match just conforms to these standards.

It has NOTHING to do with a "corporate strategy" or green and yellow blood.
